We send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of our dear Busi Maho who passed away on Wednesday 4 October.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who held her close to their hearts. Thank you to all our families and staff who have been and continue to assist the Bout-Maho family, your support is greatly appreciated. 

On Tuesday 10 October, we held a memorial service in the Orton Hall to honour the life of Mrs Maho and celebrate the incredible impact she made on everyone who was blessed to cross paths with her. The family extended their heartfelt appreciation to everyone at RGJS who played a role in organising the service, attended the service, and made contributions to the family. They were overwhelmed by your generosity and care for them during their time of grief.

The family has arrived safely in the Eastern Cape for the funeral which will take place tomorrow. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. 

Anyone who wishes to contribute towards the family may contact Pam Heiberg at pamhei@rgjs.org.za. 

Welcome to Sarah Mackenzie in Grade 2a for this term.

"I was raised on a dairy farm in the beautiful Midlands, KwaZulu Natal, surrounded by the warmth of my family. 

Growing up on the farm instilled in me a deep appreciation for the outdoors and a profound connection with nature and animals.

 From a young age, I discovered my passion for teaching, often engaging in imaginative 'Teacher Teacher' games with my brother. 

   This early interest laid the foundation for my later pursuit of a teaching degree at the University of Pretoria, an experience that I genuinely cherished.

 My interests extend beyond the classroom, as I find joy in various activities. Running and playing club hockey not only keep me physically active but also contribute to my love for sports. 

Baking is another avenue through which I express my creativity, and I find solace in reading a good book. I also love spending time with my friends and family.

 This year marked a significant change in my life as I moved to Cape Town. Embracing this new chapter, I've come to love every moment of the vibrant city and its unique offerings.

 The change has given me fresh perspectives and experiences, enriching my journey and further shaping the person I am becoming".

Thank you to the incredible team of RGJS Parents who have been sorting our LOST PROPERTY every week and attempting to return all items to their owners. All labelled items are returned to their owners. We still have loads of items that are UNMARKED which makes it very difficult to return them to the correct child. 

Please complete this FORM if your daughter has lost any items.
